How it's used
Investors often refer to this document simply as a prospectus in English, but in Cantonese, the full term is standard in financial news and professional settings. It is a formal legal document that serves as the primary source of truth for potential shareholders. You will frequently hear it discussed when a company is preparing for an initial public offering, known as 上市.
